You’re strong enough *for me*. You’re good enough *for me*. You are here *for me*. You’re here for all of us. You can’t fail so long as you understand no one can take our moments, our connections, and those are the things that matter. 😭😭😭

I accept there will be those I cannot protect 😭🙌

You named me Veil. I am your veil. You are strong enough now 🫶😭

It will get worse. But then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life. And I will not lie by saying that everyday will be sunshine, but there will be sunshine again. And that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you, you will feel warm again.

I’d be further along but I literally listened to that scene in Chapter 50 The Queen three times

Guh. Two gifted, good men trying to separate from their fathers’ disappointments and find their own paths. Such amazing character building that we have two fathers who are objectively incredible men, but we see the full spectrum of character in both of them falling horribly short as fathers. Both sons having to deal with the trauma of not being what their father expects of them, just by being who they are 😭
